T he Dong People (侗族人)and their Indigo Cloth(靛蓝色布)

Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at wooden loom(织布机). As her

fingers pass the shuttle(梭子) back and forth through the cotton

threads, the old machine comes to life.

Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making

indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare.

You (81)h buy it at the market,” she said.

For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The (82)s has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth.

This traditional way of making indigo cloth, unfortunately, is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industry society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of the have (83)m to big cities to find better jobs.

Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s (84)a towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.

The Dong people consider indigo cloth as (85)i as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed(搓) and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often (86)w the whole village up.

Almost every Dong women over 40 has a tub for indigo dye(染料). The cloth has to be put in the dye for many rounds to gain the rich color. The (87)p of coloring usually takes two weeks.

Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled(有皱纹的) hands. “They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.

It is a fact that people die every moment of every day. However, the deaths of those who have done great work in the public field can be especially shocking and heartbreaking--- (81)e to those of us who don’t know them personally.

On Jan 26, Kobe Bryant, one of the most legendary(传奇的)NBA players in history, died in a terrible (82)a . He was 41 years old when a helicopter he was riding in crashed, killing him and eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant.

Following Bryant’s death, people from all walks of life have (83)s respect to the late basketball superstar—not just for his achievements on the court(球场), but also for his personality and the inspiration(激励)the has given to us.

In the basketball world, Bryant ranks(排名) (84)a the top players of all time. He entered the NBA directly from high school as a basketball prodigy(神童). He played his whole 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers and helped the team win five NBA championships. He was fast, skillful and aggressive(进攻性的), which earned him the nickname Black Mamba, one of the most deadly snakes in the world. That’s (85)w his competitive philosophy(哲学) is known as the “Mamba mentality”.

“Mamba mentality is you’re going, you’re competing, you’re not worried about the end result,” Bryant said. “It’s all about focusing on the (86)p and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”

Off the court, Bryant was known as a successful businessman, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, and a proud father of four daughters.

The fact that Bryant is no longer with us is sad. We’ll never see him play in

(87)a game. But the work he has done will keep inspiring us years after his death.

We all know vacations（假期）are good for our health. But which kind of vacation is better: one long vacation or several short ones? Here is information from research studies

about the benefits（好处）of each kind of vacation.

The benefits of a long vacation:

International travel has big benefits. For example, people who travel abroad are more (81)c when they come home. When people visit other countries, they discover different ways people live. This results in more ways of thinking and better problem solving.

Some studies show that people do not sleep well until day two or three of their vacation. After day two or day three, they sleep well for the (82)w vacation. They also sleep well for one week after the vacation. A long vacation means better sleep for more days.

Traveling on vacation can be stressful. It takes time and money to travel. If you have a long vacation, you get more days of relaxation for your days of travel stress.

If there is a problem at work during your vacation, your coworkers(同事)are more likely to take care of the problem. They are not likely to wait for you. The result? You have (83)l work when you come back.

The benefits of short vacations:

Studies discovered that people enjoy (84)p their vacation as much as they enjoy taking the vacation. If you decide to take four short vacations a year, you can experience the fun of making arrangements for four different times.

Many people do not call the office during a short vacation. People on long vacations are more likely to check email and worry about work. For example, France has the highest number of vacation days (an average of 30 days a year). It (85)a has the highest number of people (93%) who check their work

email.

Vacations improve our (86)a to our lives, our families, and ourselves. When we get back to work, we quickly forget all those positive(积极的)feelings. Taking several short vacations a year helps you feel positive about your life more often.

We are busy all the time. It is difficult to find a complete week when everyone can go on vacation. A short vacation is easier to fit in to our busy (87)s .The busier we are, the more important it is to connect with friends and family on vacation.

Moira: Hi, Nat Geo Kids! Many North Atlantic right whales (81)s their summers feeding here in the Bay of Fundy for decades. But since around 2010, lots of them started travelling further north to find food. Their journey takes them through busy shipping areas. Sadly, this makes them

(82)h easily because of being struck by boats or caught up in fishing nets.

Cathy: What's being done to help the whales?

Here in the Bay of Fundy, I helped set up a rescue (84)t_______ made up of local fishermen. They learned about whale behavior and received special training in how to free whales from fishing nets (85)s .

Cathy: What happens on a whale rescue?

Moira: We jump in our rescue boat and head out to sea. Every entanglement is different depending on the kind of whale, the type of fishing net it's tangled in and (86)w it's caught on the whale's body. We use special tools to cut the ropes, which can take several hours, sometimes even days, to cut loose, It's (87)d_______ to work with animals in water- just imagine trying to cut a rope off a 60 ton whale!

Cathy: Amazing! what can Nat Geo Kids readers do to help?

Moira: The best thing you can do is to care for our oceans. Most importantly, learn about our oceans and inspire your friends and family to learn and care about them, too!

Cathy: Thanks, Moira. Keep up the great work!
